Definitions
- the invention relates to a resilient foot insert for Arrangement within a molded foot part of an articulated foot for a leg prosthesis, approximated in longitudinal section C-shaped with opening to the rear first spring and one connected to the lower C-leg, formed as a leaf spring second spring that approximates parallel to the sole area forward beyond the C-spring extends and with its front end to the toe area protrudes.
- the first proposed solutions saw a rigid, e.g. B. wooden version before, which later with a Joint has been provided to mimic the function of the ankle.
- a spring-elastic, foot insert composed of leaf springs provided, which has been lined with foam (see e.g. US-A-4,959,073).
- DE 40 38 063 C2 discloses a jointless prosthetic foot a one-piece, at least one plantar and dorsiflexion as well as a foot insert that enables axial compression, in the longitudinal foot section an approximately S-shaped formation having.
- the upper leg forms with one below at an obtuse angle adjoining the front oblique leg overall rigid angle element, at the lower end of which middle, leaf spring-like leg connects to his rear end via an approximately semicircular leg connection is connected to the lower leg. It extends the lower end of the rigid angle element up to about the area of the tough basic joints.
- FR-A1-26 40 499 discloses the jointless described above Artificial foot, in which the middle part of the approximately C-shaped trained foot insert in about the front third of the length Sole lies with the upper C-leg connecting the leg prosthesis.
- the C-shaped foot insert takes one Spring function by a placed between the two C-legs elastic cushion is added to a certain To achieve suppleness when putting the foot on.
- this artificial foot does not enables natural gait.
- the tapered leg ends point to her free end towards a decreasing material thickness, while the Thigh ends are provided with thickenings.
- the lower U-leg is screwed to a leaf spring at its free end, while the upper U-leg with the inclusion of a Leg connector is connected.
- the leaf spring can be made of carbon fiber or titanium.
- the space between the free U-legs can be filled with a soft polyurethane foam be.
- This spring element is supposed to be a foot movement in the sense a pro-subination around the longitudinal axis of the foot and a natural one Allow movement.
- the invention is based on the object described above articulated articulated foot with regard to the damping of the appearance the heel, the deflection, the rolling and the lateral stability to improve, so that the wearer a natural Allow gear, allowing the wearer to be able is supposed to go both normally and physical exercises and do sports.
- the bracket can be part of the base spring and, if necessary their rear end form and can rest on a heel wedge support the rear support for the base spring forms.
- front restraint is on an upper pressure plate is provided on the bottom of the upper C-leg and with that on the top of the upper C-leg supporting adapter is screwed.
- the anchoring member serves to change the spring properties of the foot insert.
- the main problem arises from the forefoot load caused by the Moment leads to an expansion of the C-spring.
- the occurring here Forces are according to the invention in the fetlock derived the base attachment.
- the ankle link approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base spring. This arrangement applies the fetlock in both directions of the deformation of the C-spring, So both when bending and when bending. This is done the engagement is soft because that is perpendicular to the direction of movement of a fetlock articulation point there is no limit of the way.
- the saddle is the base spring pulled up to the rear end in a segment of a circle, the C-spring preferably releasably attached to this saddle is. It is essential that this attachment with clear distance behind that guided by the cylinder axis Vertical lies. In front of the attachment point, this is a distance tapering in a wedge shape towards the fastening point between the front section of the lower C-leg and the base spring underneath. The so created Spring deflection contributes significantly to achieving one natural movement.
- the hinged artificial foot indicated in FIG. 1 has a cosmetic one Envelope 1 made of suitable material that has an ankle area 2, a toe area 3, a heel area 4 and defines a sole area 5.
- a base spring designed as a leaf spring is also provided 10, which extends approximately parallel to the sole region 5 and with its front end 12 to the toe area 3 protrudes.
- the underside 10a of the base spring 10 is over the most of the spring length is convex.
- the base spring is provided with a rear extension 11, starting from from which the strength of the base spring 10 to its front end 12 decreases evenly.
- the rear approach 11 goes forward over into a saddle 14 through the top 10b of the base spring 10 is defined and has a curvature that a Can represent a segment of a circle with a center at 0 '.
- the spring-elastic foot insert has still a C-spring 20, which rests on the saddle 14 and is releasably connected to it.
- the C-spring 20 is in the essentially of a cylindrical segment that has a cylinder axis 0 'defined.
- the C-spring is proportionate wide axial slot 22 provided.
- the C-spring 20 is fixed on the saddle 14 by a bolt 26 which is arranged so that its bolt axis 15 the center defined by the cylinder axis 0 ' of the cylindrical segment of the C-spring 20 intersects.
- Figure 1 also shows that the screw connection 15, 26 opposite of the vertical D running through 0 'by an angle ⁇ is arranged offset at the back, preferably between 35 ° and 45 ° but is at 40 °. The connection point between the C-spring 20 and the base spring 10 is thus opposite the vertical D clearly shifted backwards.
- the upper C-leg 23 is attached to one via a captive member 90 arranged behind him bracket 91, the one with the rear End 11 of the base spring 10 is connected and on a Heel wedge 61 supports the rear support for the base spring 10 forms.
- the rear restraint 92 is in the Achilles tendon area, while the front restraint 93 on one Upper pressure plate 34 is provided on the underside of the upper C-leg 23 abuts and with one on the top of the upper C-leg 23 supporting adapter 30 screwed is.
- Figure 1 shows that the fetlock 90 in stress-free condition approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the Base spring 10 lies.
- the fetlock member 90 can consist of a textile belt attached to his two restraints 92, 93 over a segment of a circle or a radius is guided. By designing this arcuate Redirection can affect the overall spring property be taken because different radii in one Spreading the C-spring to shorten or extend it of the fetlock. These arc diversions are therefore preferably arranged interchangeably.
- the C-spring 20 can be made of carbon composite. It has It has been shown that the deformation required for the function necessary fatigue strength of this C-spring is too low to absorb the occurring voltages with sufficient certainty to be able to.
- the one shown in FIG. 2 is used to solve the problem Training of the C-spring proposed.
- the C-spring is made up of two parallel C-spring slats 20a, 20b together, which are nested and in their end regions 20c with the interposition of spacers 95 rigidly connected. Between these both end regions 20c have the two C-spring slats a clear radial distance 94 from each other. This will avoided that when the C-spring is compressed the inner Slat 20b puts on the outer slat 20a early, because at the spring characteristics of a system is changed suddenly.
- the parallel connected C-springs make an essential one Improvement in the structural strength of the C-spring 20 achieved without thereby preventing the spring characteristic.
